Henrik Ibsen
If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.
Henrik Ibsen
There can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt.
Henrik Ibsen

Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.
Henrik Ibsen
If only I could master that demon of procrastination that goes about like a roaring lion and devours all my good intentions, I should become the most punctual man in the world.
Henrik Ibsen
HELMER But this is disgraceful. Is this the way you neglect your most sacred duties? NORA: What do you consider is my most sacred duty? HELMER: Do I have to tell you that? Isn't it your duty to your husband and children? NORA:I have another duty, just as sacred. HELMER: You can't have. What duty do you mean? NORA: My duty to myself.
Henrik Ibsen
I'm plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.
Henrik Ibsen
The strongest men are the most alone.
Henrik Ibsen
The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.
Henrik Ibsen
It is no use lying to one's self.
Henrik Ibsen
So to conduct one's life as to realize oneself-this seems to me the highest attainment possible to a human being. It is the task of one and all of us, but most of us bungle it.
Henrik Ibsen
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Henrik Ibsen
It was then that I began to look into the seams of your doctrine. I wanted only to pick at a single knot but when I had got that undone, the whole thing raveled out. And then I understood that it was all machine-sewn.
Henrik Ibsen
In the decisive moment I won the victory over myself. I chose to live. And believe me, it takes courage to choose life under those circumstances.
Henrik Ibsen
This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!
Henrik Ibsen
What sort of truths are they that the majority usually supports? They are truths that are of such advanced age that they are beginning to break up. And if a truth is as old as that, it is also in a fair way to become a lie, gentlemen.
Henrik Ibsen
You see, there are some people that one loves, and others that perhaps one would rather be with.
Henrik Ibsen
What is the difference in being alone with another and being alone by one's self?
Henrik Ibsen
